RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Although not required, there are several additional items which help to ensure safety, and
provide convenience for you and passengers. A list of these items can be found in the Sportfish,
Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual on page 18 . Perform an annual inventory to keep tools, spare
parts, and safety equipment in good condition. Immediately replace any items removed from the
kit.
CAPACITY INFORMATION
On all boats under 26 feet in length, the
manufacturer is required to provide capacity
information. If you own a 230 SF, 250 SF, or 250
DC you will find a rectangular metal plate near
the helm. The plate will provide information on
horsepower ratings, person capacities, and total
capacities which include persons, motors, and
gear. As an owner you should be aware of the
weight on board. If you exceed capacity, you
could endanger your passengers and the vessel,
as well as void any warranty remaining on the
boat should a failure occur. Remember this is a
guideline for normal operation, and does not
release you from responsibility should an acci-
dent occur. You must use rational judgement
when adverse conditions are expected, and
reduce your loads to create a margin of
safety.
Pursuant to NMMA certification, all World Cats over 26’ in length are “Yacht Certified” and
carry the placard shown below. Person and gear capacities are not predetermined, they are left
to the operator’s discretion. Therefore, the amount of load allow onboard should result from
considering all safety precautions.
Horsepower ratings, however, are set
by World Class Catamarans and
should not be exceeded. The second
page in Chapter 5 of this manual will
provide information on the maximum
horsepower ratings for your boat.
Exceeding the factory recommenda-
tions will result in loss of warranty
coverage on your vessel.
! CAUTION
Use only marine grade replacement parts. Most automotive and residential parts
are not suitable for use in the harsh marine environment. Using them could lead to
premature product failure, property damage, or personal injury.
